Bible Note: Hi Michael, Capitalization in the Greek and Hebrew was not a big deal, I agree. Capitalization in most of our Bible versions is not a big deal. But would you not agree that it is important to determine in our minds whether a verse is talking about God or not? For instance, you wrote that "the commitee thought it was more likely an addition refering to the spirit of glory." Was the committee referring to the spirit [sic] or the Spirit of glory? 1) Thank you for your Scripture references. I think your Matthew 5:11 passage is an appropriate comparison. I think also that Matthew 5:20 can be compared to 1 Peter 4:14 in that our righteousness surpasses that of the scribes and Pharisees, if the Spirit of glory rests upon us. From the heart, Ray |
